Chapter 20, Problem 48P
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The reasonable structure for compound B is to be drawn and the reason as to why trans stereoisomer of compound A is stable under reaction conditions is to be stated.

Concept introduction:

The replacement or substitution of one functional group with another different functional group in any chemical reaction is termed as substitution reaction.

In nucleophilic substitution reaction, nucleophile takes the position of leaving group by attacking on the electron deficient carbon atom.

On being heated with a solution of sodium ethoxide in ethanol, compound A (C7H15Br) yielded a mixture of two alkenes B and C, each having the molecular formula C7H14. Catalytic hydrogenation of the major isomer B or the minor isomer C gave only 3-ethylpentane. Suggest structures for compounds A, B, and C consistent with these observations.
Compound A was oxidized with periodic acid to give B, which after acid hydrolysis gave C. Bromine oxidation of C gave D. Suggest structural formulas, including stereochemistry, for compounds B, C, and D.
Compound A(C10H12O)gives off oxygen on treatment with sodium metal and also decolorizes Br2 in CCl4 to give organic compound B. Compound A on treatment with I2 in NaOH gives iodoform and salt C which after acidification gives a white solid D(C7H6O2). Using knowledge of organic chemistry identify structures A,B,C and D
